How Do You Push Back the Piston For The Back Calipers?

i heard their was a special tool i needed to buy so i can push the piston back, i know how to do the ones in the front but the back are different. If anyone knows what the tool is called, or has a pic of it, or if i dont need it, what do i do to push it back?
